21 Best American Restaurants in Mission Viejo

“Cool vibe, good food. Happy hour daily from 2-5 with 50% off beer and wine. My only complaint would be the table tops were sticky/dirty looking. Not from lack of cleaning, just seemed to be the varnish they used on the wood. Also, the garlic parm fries are coated in a garlic butter. Very greasy/oily. If you're not into greasy fries, steer clear. Overall though, I would recommend, and I will be back.“

“Always great wine and food here!“

“Iris, the owner and the main man in the kitchen are nothing short of awesome. Happy hour rules, food is great, and the best service. Love this place and I encourage everyone to come try at least twice.

By far the best place in MV for beers and a game. Kids will have fun too!“

“I got a craving for a beef dip. Found this place and realized I could get au jus with any sandwich... So I got the Hitman. SOOO GOOD!!!! They even had horseradish. I'm fat and happy now. I wish they had this restaurant by me in San Diego. For now, I'll be back so long as I am working on this project nearby! I want to try their other sandwiches.
The side salad was good too.“

“Great comfort food, excellent service from Julio as always. He's friendly, polite, and welcoming. We like to eat here when Julio's around and the other gentleman at the cashier.“

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.“

“Cinnamon roll French toast!“

“Loved their chocolate desert!“

“Good happy hour. Food and drinks are served quickly and with enthusiasm.
We had the Happy Hour Sliders with Cheddar Cheese and Tempura Green Beans.
The green beans came out with the drinks very quickly. They were hot and flavorful.
Dipping sauce is a little thin and lacking in flavor, but it's not needed as the food is good as-is.
The sliders were good too. The cheese is optional but adds a little depth to the item.
As is Happy Hour, the restaurant was busy and we were lucky to get a table in the bar so quickly.
There were several games on the screens which added to the atmosphere. The meal cost around $25 per person, which was affordable.
We'll be back and may even join the Rewards Program. Kayla (and Kaylee) took good care of us.“

“#SuperBowlSundayBrunch 🌷🤙😜🥳😎“

“Fair and Fun never boring. Great restaurant and bar“

“WE had a 70th birthday brunch with 6 of us and it was a lovely luncheon. The weed-wacker made it hard to hear for a while, but the ambiance and beautiful views made it worthwhile. The service was a bit slow but the food was delish and everyone found something different to try. We were seated right upon arrival and I think we all decided we'd go back again with our families!“

“I have been to the Sessions in Newport beach a few times and I love everything about the place, great food, great service, and the owner greeted me personally! I would 100% recommend this place for a great family meal!“

““The atmosphere was calm and pleasant, the staff were polite and kind, and most importantly, the food was excellent—great quality at a fair price. I really loved it, and it will always be one of our top choices when we go out to eat.”“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“Excellent service good food, nice place to take the family

Dietary restrictions: They do have a gulten free option for Bugers. My daughter has Celiac's disease and Gastroparesis issues. It did not affect her stomach at all.

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“The food and service was great, my only issue with this specific location was that they do not honor the military discount that is given in any other Dennys location I have ever been. I guess the owner does not support the troops. Sad.“

“Happened to come across this place and so glad i did. Food was delicious and had a really nice presentation. The staff was very friendly as well. I went again 2 days later (this time with family) and was not dissappointed at all. What a great find!“

“Good option in the mall food court. Kids meals are a great value - burger is simple and well seasoned, fries have always been crispy. Takes a bit to come out but assume that’s because they cook to order - always come out great.

Other options in the food court are nice too - Sarku, Chipotle, etc.“
